German supermarkets are extremely cheap compared to countries around us. That's one of the reasons Walmart I think it was failed so badly.

I have been to a Walmart in Germany back then, out of sheer curiosity. Let me tell you, it was definitely not just the price that was the problem. The whole shop screamed "We were to lazy to even think about German shoppers being different from American ones".
